England will approach the T20 World Cup 2022 as one of the teams capable of winning the tournament and coach Matthew Mott believes that his side have got their rhythm back. 

The Three Lions struggled against the likes of India and South Africa recently, but the wins over Pakistan and Australia seem to have boosted their confidence at a crucial time. 

Mott claims that although England are going through a transition period in white-ball cricket, with a new coach and a new captain at the helm, they have what it takes to get the job done in the showpiece event starting today. 

Furthermore, the England head coach added that the team will shuffle their pack according to opposition and conditions throughout the tournament in a bid to get most out of the resources at their disposal. 

Key players like Liam Livingstone will return from injury to boost the side and it remains to be seen whether the Three Lions can go all the way in the World Cup this time around. 

"We seem to have got our mojo back. There's obviously transition time. New captain, new coach and getting that role clarity. We've taken time to build those relationships.

"But I think we're in a pretty good spot at the moment.

"There's a number of teams that are potential winners of this World Cup, of which we're one and if we play really good cricket, and we win those big moments, we're as good a chance as anyone", Mott said via Planet Sport. 

Meanwhile, Mott also heaped praise on the three-dimensional Ben Stokes, stating that the England Test captain will be a key player for England in the tournament. 

"Him around the group is huge. He's obviously a strong leader and he's a three-dimensional player. He just adds so much value.

"He allows us to get a little bit funky with some of our selections because you know he's capable on his day of bowling four overs, he bats in the top four and is one of the best fielders in the world.

"You add anyone of that calibre to the team and you're going to be better for it."
